Investment
backing founders
early.
We invest at the earliest stages in founders building consumer brands with real staying power. Our edge is operational: we have built, scaled, and acquired brands ourselves, and we bring that to every check we write.
What we focus on
Consumer Brands
DTC, Amazon-native, and omnichannel brands with a differentiated product and a path to defensible margin.
E-Commerce & Marketplaces
Businesses built around marketplace dynamics, with strong unit economics and operational clarity.
Retail & Distribution
Brands expanding into physical retail or building hybrid models across channels.
Enabling Technology
Tools and infrastructure that make consumer brand operations faster, leaner, or more profitable.
What we look for
01
Founder conviction Operators who know their category inside out and have skin in the game.
02
Product with pull Something customers come back for, with margins that make the business worth building.
03
Commercial clarity A clear view of channels, CAC, and how the brand scales without destroying unit economics.
04
Openness to operational input We are hands-on investors. We bring Amazon, DTC, and M&A experience, and we use it.
Pitch us.
